Lord of Ming Dynasty

"General Wang Neng is the general of the Qing army who turned his back on the battlefield."

Gao Yigong had a very disgusted expression, he especially hated this kind of general who turned his back on the battlefield, what if he turned on others in the future?

He doesn't like to see this kind of repeated villain very much, but now he can't feel any dislike, otherwise no one will rely on him in the future, and someone will turn to him, which will make you famous. Get up, others give you face, and you give others face, so that everyone can live better, otherwise, in the land of Daming, it is nothing for him to excel.

So even though Gao Yigong didn't want to see him, he still had to put on a smile and warmly greet the other hero of this battle, Wang Neng. The troops were also unable to go back and fight back, defeating the Qing army with strong troops and superior weapons and equipment than the Dashun army, not to mention that the Qing army still had nearly [-] real Manchu soldiers.

Five thousand Manchu Qing soldiers, who used to be able to chase 10,000+ Ming troops around, are now defeated by them.

"Sinful General Wang Neng pays homage to General Gao and waits for the general to deal with him." Wang Neng knelt down in front of Gao Yigong with a look of panic.

"Haha, General Wang, please hurry up. If General Wang didn't understand the righteousness and make a final blow, our army still doesn't know if we can defeat the Manchu Jurchens. General Wang is my great benefactor. Come on, Reward General Wang with 500 taels of silver and bring my white horse, such a hero can be worthy of my BMW that travels thousands of miles every day."

Wang Neng was not hypocritical, he stood up immediately, clasped his fists neither arrogantly nor humbled and said: "Thank you for the reward, General, now I have nowhere to go, please take me in with you, General."

Gao Yigong clapped his hands, "Great, welcome to General Wang to join our Dashun Army's Loyalty Battalion, General Wang, I will definitely report to the General and ask for credit for you." Turning around, he said to the soldiers beside him: "Take General Wang went down to rest, I'll go to see the battlefield ahead," then turned around and clasped his fists at Wang Neng and said, "General Wang, please rest for a while, I'll go to deal with military affairs."

Wang Neng took a step back, stretched out his hand and said, "General Gao, please go ahead."

Gao Yigong was full of ambition and went to check the casualties of the troops he led.

After Wang Neng left, he also returned to the barracks of the troops he controlled.

This time they suddenly turned against each other. Although they were prepared, due to the terrain of the battlefield, they were counterattacked by the Qing artillery on the other side, causing many casualties.

500 soldiers and horses, and killed [-] Manchu Qing soldiers of the supervising army. According to the last statistics, there were [-] soldiers left in the entire battalion capable of fighting, and more than [-] people were killed and injured. The weapons were seriously damaged. During most of the battle, they fought against seven or eight thousand Qing troops with one battalion. One of Gao Yigong's two field brigades was disabled and the other was severely injured. After the pressure was reduced, many deserters appeared. To them, it interfered with their battle against the Qing army, which is why Wang Nengbu suffered heavy losses.

After sending [-] soldiers and horses to collect the artillery battalion of the Qing army, they also gathered some civilian men and war horses, and only then did they get more of the artillery battalion of the Qing army.

Another [-] soldiers were sent to clean up the battlefield, guard the prisoners, retrieve the intelligence personnel of the Huaxia Army who had infiltrated and the soldiers who had been instigated to rebellion in other battalions, and obtained [-] usable soldiers. He went to persuade the captured soldiers of the two battalions. In less than half a day, he gathered more than [-] soldiers from the Qing army, including cavalry, arquebus soldiers, and artillery.

The others were Qing troops who had nothing to do with them, and Wang Neng left it to Gao Yigong to deal with it.

He waited in the camp with five hundred soldiers and horses.

When it got dark, everything finally got straightened out.

Using the captured prisoners, he expanded his battalion from only one battalion to two battalions. One battalion of arquebus gunners had [-] soldiers and horses, plus a battalion of [-] artillerymen. Such a battalion had [-] soldiers and horses.

The two battalions reached [-] soldiers and horses, and the rest were [-] cavalry, [-] infantry, and [-] civilian men to transport supplies, supplies, food and grass, and the total strength reached [-] soldiers and horses.

This action of his made Gao Yigong jealous and helpless, who gave him an innate advantage to persuade those captives to join him.

Wang Neng has joined the Dashun army now, and he can't go back on his word and attack others. Even if he attacks him, he doesn't know if he can beat him. He can only attack him secretly. But if this is the case, he must kill five or six thousand people. The situation of the troops could not kill them all, otherwise, as long as a few Qing soldiers escaped, the other Qing soldiers would not join him or the Dashun Army in the future.

Gao Yigong inspected his troops.

The field brigade of the new army was disabled, with [-] troops, and now there are only [-] people left, [-] people were killed and wounded, and [-] people escaped. All the captive soldiers of the Qing army fled, and those who died were all brothers from the old camp who were not afraid of death, and they were all good brothers who were dedicated to the loyalty camp.

More than 1000 people were captured and thrown into prisoner camps. For these guys, they will only be cannon fodder in the future.

The artillerymen were almost all casualties, only more than 100 artillerymen escaped the fate of being killed, and were taken out of the corner of Gela. Now they are watching Gao Yigong with trepidation, waiting for Gao Yigong to decide their fate.

The cavalry only had two or three hundred cavalry around them, each of them was wounded, and the infantry only had about a thousand troops left, but Liu Guoxuan's remnant soldiers who fled earlier were gathered together, and there were still 500 people, Gao Yigong really hated it Gritting your teeth, these parallel importers who escaped from experience.

Gao Yigong directly sent them to clean up the battlefield, guard the prisoners, transport supplies, and he brought more than 200 troops to reorganize the field brigade.

The previous field brigade was broken up and reorganized. Although the secondary field brigade fought fiercely, they survived more people than the elite field brigade with guns and artillery fighting the enemy face to face, nearly 800 The soldiers of the elite field brigade led them to reorganize into a field brigade, including artillery, [-] infantry and [-] remnants of Liu Guoxuan's defeated generals, and gave them [-] cavalry. In this way, the force reached more than [-] people.

Gao Yigong personally led them, leading them with more than 100 soldiers.

The logistics, guarding the prisoners, leading the infantry, and other tasks were handed over to Liu Guoxuan.

During the second period, Gao Yigong had already sent scout cavalry back to the rear of the situation of the battle, and asked Li Guo to send troops to support him.

The total force is only over 700 troops. After the first battle, more than half of the troops will be killed or injured. Gao Yigong no longer dares to attack forward.

But he was also happy. In this battle, the enemy was defeated and the Qing army was severely damaged. Gao Yigong reckoned that this time the Qing army would at least have more casualties than him. The five thousand Qing soldiers would definitely never return. It was only Ma Bao who escaped. It is estimated that that coward can take away [-] soldiers and horses. The other Qing soldiers were either captured or scattered. It is estimated that the Qing army in the Pingdingshan area is now going to play an empty city plan.

Most importantly, he used [-] soldiers to completely wipe out the enemy's Xinjun Town. This was unprecedented for the Dashun Army, and it was very exciting news.

There is another credit that he didn't hide for himself. Duolong died and Babutai died. Sitting on an equal footing with Li Guoping.

Chapter 5 and Seven are just a bunch of scraps

Three hours after Li Guo's Zhongzhen Camp led by Gao Yigong ended the battle with the Qing army, he dispatched the party leader Su to lead [-] elite infantry to help, along with [-] civilian men, half of whom came to pick up the wounded and the Qing army. Of the captives, half of them were arrows, ammunition and shells that were consumed. Dang Shousu's infantry came to help with food and grass.

Wang Neng's 7000 troops, plus the remaining 5000 troops of the Zhongzheng Battalion, Dang Shousu's [-] troops, and [-] civilian husbands, this force has recovered nearly [-] troops. Gao Yigong felt that he could complete the capture of Pingdingshan When the mission was over, he led the troops to move forward and approached the Pingdingshan county government.

Zhang Qiang looked at it with the vision of the war eagle and shook his head. He thought the Xinjun Town of the Qing army was so powerful. It turned out to be just a group of infantry with muskets. There is a big gap in the concept of cavalry pursuit, so I didn't look at the next battle and withdrew from the vision of the war eagle.

For Hong Chengchou's fear or worry about the Qing army's new army, Zhang Qiang has already started to despise Hong Chengchou from the bottom of his heart at this moment.

But let the Qing army do it, what they advocate is brainless bravery, and the strategy of calculating each other. On the battlefield, they never use their brains to play strategy or tactics.

Zhang Qiang rubbed his chin and thought about whether to do something else to let those soldiers escape back, and then be incorporated into other new army units to continue to infiltrate and disintegrate the enemy.

Thinking of implementing it immediately, he called Milin, and the two of them shared their thoughts, and Milin slapped the table and said, "Your Excellency is really powerful, I will arrange to send more low-level personnel into Hong Chengchou's Qing army, We haven't penetrated enough of his newly formed Xinjunzhen troops, so let them prepare some manpower, and send more than 1000 intelligence personnel in Wang Neng's hands and those who have always been loyal to us.

Let these people flee back. After a while, at least get some low-level chiefs, corporal leaders, etc., so that the bottom-level troops can basically be controlled. If there are one or two people like General Wang Neng, then we can fight again. If you control some troops, even if you can't get to such a high position, you can get a general, a hundred households, etc., and it will be effective at that time. "

Such things have been implemented since Tian Bin's era, but after Tian Bin left, the Huaxia Army had to deal with various battles, and the speed of implementation was very slow, and the penetration was not strong enough. The highest standard was Wang Neng. A general who is equivalent to a guerrilla general.

Yes, Zhang Qiang wanted to use the old stuff of infiltration, ambush, and subversion again to kill Hong Chengchou. Anyway, he had already buried a lot of people in the opponent's team, but those people were because of the fact that Tian Bin was in the first town. The new army was transferred to Yanjing, went to protect Dorgon, and went to stand for Dorgon, so that time almost took away all the efforts Tian Bin made, this time Zhang Qiang decided to intensify his efforts, work hard, and quickly Dry, quickly disintegrate the enemy.

The Qing army under Hong Chengchou, who had just recovered to 28 Xinjun towns, was knocked out by the Zhongzhen Camp this time, and there were only 27 Xinjun towns, only one more than when Hong Chengchou was the strongest, but the extra one was actually There is not much combat power, more than one. In fact, the Xinjun Town of Hong Chengchou's tribe is now the fifteenth most powerful. Because two were sent to Haoge, two were wiped out in Kong Youde and Huguangzhou. In fact, the real remaining There are only eleven of them, and the others that were built later can only be said to have a little combat effectiveness, and the last ones that were established have not yet had much combat effectiveness.

Because Shunzhi and Xiaozhuang are not vegetarians anymore, since they know that the firearms army is powerful, can they not mix sand into your army?

Therefore, the control of the newly established Hong Chengchou is not high. Let a group of Manchu nobles who only know how to ride horses and archery, eat meat, pretend to be high-profile, and pretend to control the new army. fighting power.

So Zhang Qiang thought it was a bunch of waste products and rubbish, and he just needed to send people in to instigate rebellion, harass, and finally strike back.

After a discussion between the two, within a few days, hundreds of elite personnel were screened out, put on make-up, sneaked into Nanyang Mansion, and joined Wang Neng's team. Afterwards, Wang Neng replaced them and the personnel to be dispatched with some civilian husbands. , This will reduce the number of soldiers by two thousand. The two thousand soldiers were reimbursed when they attacked a county in Pingdingshan. There are still [-] soldiers and horses, but in the eyes of others, his troops have suffered heavy losses, and the threat to the Loyalty Camp is not so high.

This is similar to the family being killed by the enemy. If you want to train so many family members, you need to spend a lot of time and energy. Being close, Wang Neng also justly showed his favor, stood in line, and soon became Gao Yigong's confidant, although the weight of this confidant was not as good as those family members, family generals, confidantes and old battalion veterans who followed Gao Yigong to the north and south. , but no matter what, he can be regarded as a useful person in Gao Yigong's eyes.

Wang Neng only had two thousand usable soldiers and horses left in his hands, plus the two thousand soldiers converted from civilians and captives. This was [-]% less powerful than when he took refuge in the first place. He even sent hundreds of soldiers to monitor him, and successfully thought that he had mastered this army.

Soon, the Zhongzhen Camp led by Gao Yigong recovered Pingdingshan, expanded the territory of the Zhongzhen Camp, and restored the previous threat against the Qing army. Liu Guoxuan sorted out the remnants together, defended Pingdingshan, and then continued to make trouble for the Qing army with the troops of the reinforcement party leader Su, attacking the Qing army in the Zhumadian area.

The two sides engaged in a tug-of-war and a war of attrition in the Zhumadian area. The Qing army under Hong Chengchou stayed out of the matter from the beginning, and fell into the quagmire of war again after a year and a half.

Faced with such a situation, Hong Chengchou did not dare to send his beloved Xinjun Town to fight against the Zhongzhen Camp. He assigned Ma Bao to continue guarding Zhumadian, but he dispatched the original cold-weapon troops to the Green Battalion from various Yangtze River defense troops. The soldiers and the banner soldiers of the Han army, as well as the soldiers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and Gao Yigong consumed each other in Zhumadian.

If the two sides have 2000 troops, you will fight me today, and I will fight you tomorrow. In a decisive battle with a maximum of 5000 troops, no one has the ability to do anything to the other side.

After Li Guo went through this battle, he began to consider the way out of the Zhongzhen Camp.
